Throughout the website there are small trees, showing the relationships between people in particular stories.
This section contains the major trees which cover multiple generations.
basic – this tree is the simplest possible structure, showing ten generations of men from Robert Batt to John Walker Batt and Charles Dorrington Batt. The tree includes names, lifespan, wills and death locations.
basic+ – this is the simplest possible structure, showing ten generations of men from Robert Batt to John Walker Batt and Charles Dorrington Batt with the wives for the first nine generations and two extra husbands (Elizabeth Smith’s first and Mary Weston’s second.) The tree includes names, lifespan, wills and death locations.
ancestral names – At the time of writing (July 2017) I can give the full names of 107 ancestors of John Walker Batt and Charles Dorrington Batt. Just nine of these had the surname “Batt” and the remainder are maternal ancestors. 27 come from Eliza Bush, 25 from Mary Hyde and 27 from Anne Clinch – the remaining ancestors, 19 of them, come from Jane Read and the pre-Witney maternal lines. This chart gives those names placed in the correct generations and colour coded to show which wife they belong to. All the occurrences of any given surname are shown in one column.
ancestral names – summary – If all you want to see is a summary of where surnames came from this could be a good option. The Batt ancestors are in the first column, their wives surnames in the second, and each wife’s ancestral names in subsequent columns.
descent – this tree shows the Batt family from Augustine Batt and Jane Read to the grandchildren of Edward Augustine Batt and Eliza Bush. It includes baptism, marriage, burial, headstone and will records and succession.
ancestry – this tree shows the ancestors of John Walker Batt and Charles Dorrington Batt, for four generations back to their g-g-grandparents and mentions their 3xgreat grandparents. It includes baptism, marriage, burial, headstone and will records.
attrition – I love statistics and this short paper looks at the attrition rate in the families from Witney for the five generations from Augustine and Jane’s children to the children of John Walker Batt and Charles Dorrington Batt. There are two trees comparing the original number of children to the small number who have living descendants today.
descent – this tree shows the Beechey family from Walter Beechey and Elizabeth Gilbert to the generation of Edward Augustine Batt and Eliza Bush. It includes baptism, marriage, burial, headstone and will records and succession.
immigrants – this tree shows just my ancestors who came to the antipodes. The immigrants are in blue, the births are in orange or green. All of these people died in New Zealand except Mary Margaret Carling who died in Australia. The Batt family is on the left, the Dean family in the middle and the Lassen family on the right. The shipping list contains information about their ships.
